ATAXX Cabinet - Is it worth the price?
(1/2) > >>
Zeno:
I have a chance to pick up a working Ataxx cabinet for $75.

I kind of like the game, but I'm more interested in the parts.  Some quick questions for the ALL MIGHTY BOARD...

1. Do you think I can use this 19" monitor in my Ms. Pac restoration project?  Excuse my ignorance if this is a simple question, but I'm pretty dumb when it comes to monitors.

2. Any value in the two trackballs?

3. Any value in the gutted cab?  I think it could make for a mean MAME machine if done right.

Your thoughts are appreciated.

That thing looks great.  Would take it for 75 if I was there.  By the way, you wouldn't be in Houston would you?
Zeno:
Sorry Green, not in Houston.

I think it looks great too.  Normally, I would snatch this up, but my better half may divorce me if I come home with another machine before I fix up/sell the others.

Right now I have 5 cabinets.  Only 2 are working.  Adding a 6th cab may push my otherwise saintly wife over the edge.  I don't want to mistake her kindness for her weakness when it comes to my arcade hobby.  Man... I know she wishes I was into stamps instead.

Then again... my working cab to total cab ratio is 2:5 (40%).
If I got this, it would bring the ratio to 3:6 (50%). 

That would be some real progress!

This is a fairly uncommon game.  Sure you'd want to part it out?

No... I'm okay with keeping it a dedicated Ataxx machine. 

I know it's uncommon, but do you think that makes it valuable?  I figure supply and demand only works when there is some demand.

Is this guy crazy for selling it at $75?  Am I crazy for not snatching it up?
